18-Kick off the demons

"'Wind, chop it up!'

With a single chant, I chopped a few demons together into chunks, and I ran around to help the villagers without paying attention to it.

You can't use magic to attack a whole group of demons. Since the village was in a state of brawl here and there, I basically ran around with my strengthened body, crushing the demons that were far away from the villagers from a distance, and the demons that were right up to the villagers with my strengthened body.

''Uhhhh!''

Now, again, a leopard-like looking demon is turning on the villagers. The sword is in the villager's hand, but I could see from a distance that its cutting edge was trembling from fright.

No matter how much "acceleration" enhancement is applied to the body, it is still too far away to make it in time.

But still, it's no problem.

I've learned from my experience of improving spells over the past few days that as long as they're in Japanese, you can be quite flexible in what you can instruct with your spells.

For example.

"'Transference'.

The moment I chanted, my vision was instantly painted over, and I was instantly 'transferred' between the villagers and the demon that was about to be pounced on, in an instant.

''Gruuuuuu........''

Suddenly, the demon roared as if it was frightened, but it still attacked me.

I turned my palm to such a demon and

"'Flame, burn, put out the coals.

When I chanted that, a flame enveloped the demon's entire body. As it was, without a chance to scream, the demon turned into ashes and disappeared in the wind.

''Gerald!　You're not a sorcerer....

I'll tell you later!　Instead, you need to focus on hiding from the demons for now!

I'm grateful. And Russell is right over there. Go on. I don't need him anymore. Have him.

The villagers I rescued didn't hide their suspicious looks, but they pressed their swords against me and pointed to where my father was.

It was the place with the highest concentration of demons.

With my success, I had cleared out most of the large demons that looked highly dangerous, but I had missed some of the smaller ones. Those were beginning to gather in one place in search of weaker and easier prey to win than the stronger opponent that was me.

And that's where my dad was.

'Hang on, Dad. "Transition.

I muttered, and in an instant I jumped into the dense vortex of demons.

My vision painted over again. What I appeared was on the path of a centipede-like demon with a large mouth that was racing ahead of me.

''Be the blade that can cut through the entire space.''

The sword is strengthened and wielded with magic. The strengthened sword is able to literally cut through the entire 'space'.

Naturally, the centipede bastards' hard shells couldn't withstand it, and what was left was a swarm of demons neatly divided into upper and lower portions.

It's also a good idea to use your sword to dispel other demons, and then use them as extinguishers again, sometimes moving to the back to cut off their heads. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends.

''Father, are you okay!''

I took care of the demons as fast as I could and turned around to see my father with his abdomen drenched in blood and the men in the village boasting of their strength, ready to defend him. I look behind me and see my father with a bloodied abdomen and the village's most powerful men holding their weapons at the ready to protect him.

Everyone was injured and bleeding. The sight of them was painfully worn out to the point of being painful to look at, and everyone was breathing on their shoulders.

''Je ... Lardo, are you okay?''

I'm not going to get hurt, Dad!　More importantly, the injury.

I ran over to him and put my hand over the wound. Dad let out a painful moan, "Ugh.

'Be patient. 'Power of healing, gather here.'

From the looks of it, the wound itself is not significant. The bleeding would be great, but it wouldn't be fatal either.

I was momentarily relieved after casting a spell, and when I looked at my dad's face, his complexion was still blatantly bad.

'Dad?'

Nothing to worry about. As long as it's secure, yeah.

Don't move, Mr. Russell. You've been infected by a demon!

As my dad tried to stand up, one of the men who had been protecting him grabbed him by the shoulder and made him sit back down. It's called the Raid, the boss of the village's strongest men.

'Poison?

Yeah. You know, I got a real blast of centipede stuff coming at me and...

Then we need to detoxify it!

I turned my palms to my dad's body again. This time I envisioned an image in my mind that would wash away the poison flowing through my body.

Then I chanted the spell.

''Erase the poison that flows through this person's body and restore his body to its normal state.''

When he finished chanting, Dad's body glowed for a moment. When the glow disappears, I see that Dad is looking much better than before.

I could clearly see that he was on the mend.

You're pathetic. I can't believe I let my son see me like this.

No, it's not!　You fought to protect the people of the village, didn't you?　You can't be so pathetic, Dad!

Huh... you say that, son.

Of course!

He still looks a little wobbly, but he manages to stand up. I reach out a hand from the side and support him.

But even my body stumbles a bit. I've used up a lot of magic, and I'm exhausted.

I'm sure it's all taken care of now. I guess it's safe to say.

Raid-san let out a relieved voice.

All over the village, the corpses of demons were piling up in accumulation here and there. Centipedes, leopards, bears, boars, and other incomprehensible-looking monsters, the pile of their wreckage is an ugly sight, but still, when you think that safety has arrived again, you can breathe a sigh of relief.

'And yet, Gerald. You.........

Laid-san looks down at me. That gaze made me shiver with a jolt.

What kind of eyes would they look at me if they knew I was a sorcerer? Wouldn't they be terrified? Would he be persecuted and driven out of the village?

Such anxieties began to grow in my mind. Once the demon attack is over, the pursuit of me will begin.

But fortunately - and unfortunately - Mr. Raid didn't continue with his words of pursuit.

Because suddenly the sound of an explosion echoed throughout the village.

''Wha, what!　What was that sound?!

Laid-san turned her head towards the direction of the sound with her weapon at the ready again.

The sound - my mom and Sierra were supposed to be there, coming from the direction where our house is.

'My mom and Sierra are there!'

I shout and start running. This is not the time to say that I'm exhausting my magic power.

After repeating the transition multiple times, I arrive home in a matter of seconds.

There, I will meet the guy who inspired me to become a top court mage.
